Thank you so much for the tip about early entry for Disney Hotel guests.

Great attitude - Beauty and the beast is down, so much more to do.

It is such a lovely day to be at there

No matter how many times I watch this, you going "It is 10:30! Do you know what time it is?...*no, wait expression*" always makes me reflexively laugh. Bless you <3

"We're gonna put the cheese on here because...cheese, y'know?" Chris 2023...amen! The ONE time you get to enter the park early before everyone else and Beauty and the Beast is down...oof. That's rough, buddy. At least you got to still ride it though! Yup, Japanese curry is delish! Not to mention, it's easy to cook! Curry was first introduced to Japan during the Meiji era by Anglo-Indian officers! By 1870, it became a staple of Japanese cuisine!

I hope you got to enjoy the rest of your day in the park. You’re right to take time for yourself without the camera & live in the moment. Thank you for sharing!

[soitsmelaura]

I luv the balloon merch … aah I can’t wait to see the park and realistically all the merch in person lol

[bobcheapek]

Exactly, life isn't always gonna go your way...I learned that the hard way after I was pushed out by the board. But keep smiling and keep pushing forward, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about. That being said, Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast is a wonderful ride and it doesn't take long to see why. Beast's castle in all its grandeur is enough to say "You're gonna be a part of something magical"

Awsome video. Really loved the Minnie merch. Thank you for showing us these parks and other gems.
Seems like a good idea. You definetly has owned some time to just enjoy the parks and do your thing.

[michellewilkins]

I hope they bring the single rider lines back. It’s so good for those travelling solo and if it’s space going empty someone should use it.

[TheSanstress]

Thanks for taking us along - and good for you for taking the rest of the day for yourself (I got a lot out of your video from just the morning)!!

[kailine]

when you thought you had the upper hand, then all of a sudden, some things go wrong 😩 but hey, as long as you're in Tokyo Disney, it'll work out! can't wait to experience the amazing Beauty and the Beast ride someday too 😍

[hiyani]

We went the same day. I just saw our group in your vlog. LOL❤❤

[YunaMoon_]

Just found your channel and watch already so many videos, because you have so a cute personality, it makes realy fun to watch you!
Thank you for giving this lovely vibes!
Greetings from germany
P.S.: Can you tell if vegans can find good meals in japan disneyland?

[expensivepink]

great content as always, chris! hope you are well!

[KristinaTiedeman]

Thank you so much for all of the great videos! Do you know if the "Early Evening Passport" ticket option can be purchased at the hotel desk after we check-in to the Disneyland Tokyo Hotel? We will be arriving late afternoon and just discovered that it would be possible to go into one of the parks for a few hours our first night. Would you recommend extra time in Disneyland or Disney Sea in the evening? We will be going in the middle of April. Thank you for any advice Chris!

[julietjetset]

I’m going in April. We are doing 2 nights at Miracosta and 2 nights at the Disneyland hotel in an Alice and Wonderland room! I’m so excited

[wee-senchoo]

So how long was the standby wait for Beauty and the Beast?

[JnDBurkinshaw]

Hey! I’d love to know, is the 15min happy entry only for Disneyland or is it for Disneysea also? I’m planning a 2025 trip for this time and think we’ll stay at Roy story hotel for 5 nights and not do a VP, but worried! Thanks! Bought your guidebook also!

[TheRunningRyan]

I’m going to Tokyo’s Disneyland for the first time next month. My number one goal is to ride beauty and the beastso planning to do the premiere pass. Do premiere passes sell out usually sell out?

[michellexlawless]

I like that you took time for yourself that’s what the parks are really about

[spun_]

Happy Entry is pretty much redundant now that Fastpasses have been removed. Previously you'd enter the park early, get a fastpass, then go stand in a different queue. Now you just get to stand in the ride queues a little earlier than everyone else. Still good, but not as great as it used to be.
